Question:

My 500 gallon tank has an adapter installed that allows smaller tanks to be refilled out of it. I need a high pressure hose to connect from the tank to the bottles. The fitting on the end of the outlet on the tank is female and the same size as the inlet to the twenty pound tank. Will this hose work for me?

I called my contact at Camco and asked about a hose with the correct fittings that will work for you.

If the fitting on your 500-gallon tank is the same size as the fitting found on your 20-lb portable tanks, then the hose I recommend for you is part # CAM59043. This is a 12-ft long hose with a 1-inch female adapter on one end and a 1-inch male adapter on the other.

For a similar hose assembly but 5-ft long the hose you want is part # CAM59045.

@Todd Thanks for reaching out! We don't have any adapters for refilling tanks. Jeff had just offered a possible hose solution if the ends of the hose happened to match what Tim already had in place. For something like what you're needing I recommend reaching out to MB Sturgis (https://mbsturgis.com/contact-us/) as they are involved in all things propane and have been able to make custom pieces for people. You'll need to talk to them to see if an adapter can be made for that.
